Thread 17- it's all about the advent calendars

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title I know, I panicked! And we are collecting a lovely collection of different advent calendars.

See post two for links etc

Thanks Lapin.

Here's my Boden voucher if anyone wants it. Don't forget to use the code upthread for 25% off too - 7N8J

Fireflygirl thanks so much for looking, I hadn't thought to check universal sites. Looks like I'm going to be shelling out £29.99 for a hideous doll then! Although I could buy my nephews present at the same time for the Smyths voucher.

I'm really tempted by Lily's Kitchen but after telling DH that I'm going to spend less now, how would I explain an advent calendar for the cat?

You could tell him you bought it ages ago but it only just arrived

Itmustbemyage Many thanks, I think I won't buy them then.

At least 20% off at Campus gifts now and over the weekend.

Had anyone seen a long Christmas jumper with a v neck? Stupid high round necks are ridiculously unflattering.

Upon can you rerecord the message if it goes wrong like ours inevitably will ? Also, at what point does it make the noise to the recipient? When you open it or when you press something?

Thinking about buying someone the Devon wool duvet? Has anyone got one?

Code GRAB10 for a further 10% off sale stock at Surfdome.

Playmobil 4x4 towing a boat was half price in asda a few days ago. 40 down to 20.

Has anyone seen any offers on furby connects? Need 2 but not pink ones!!

I hesitated on the orchard game and missed it ! Argh!

charging cat treat advents are £2 in supermarkets
Cat nip flavour chocs

I know there are probably no Boden codes left in the world but an item I've been wanting has come back in stock so need to order quickly but a code would be Amazon/Christmas miracle

xbox one bundles are now £199 seemingly across board, ie amazon, tesco etc. ( usually between 249 and 289)

and I never bothered with sparks card, I had one but never registered it. A kind assistant in m and s pointed out its 20% off with it today and she registered me - I had a welcome 10% too - so - I was v pleased to get 30% off the item I was buying!

worth a thought if like me you have not previously bothered with it.

Few things on Amazon

Disney Cars Mack Truck half price £11.49

Lego Elsa's Ice Castle from £34.99 to £22.99

Play Doh cake party playset, £7.88 from £15

If anyone has a Boden voucher they aren't going to use I'd be very grateful

How much were the sainbos STOP MOTION kits?

PP who missed orchard toy deal. Aldi have them for £4. It might be worth checking out which games they have online .

Ness:-\ not sure about a Devon wool duvet (not sure if that's a previous post I've missed or a separate thing!) but I have a John Lewis wool duvet and it's fab. It's unfortunately also shot up in price in the last few years.

Next time I get one I'm going to get it from www.baavet.co.uk - I know several people who have had them and raved about them. Plus they're made from Welsh sheep's wool, small local producer that are going from strebgth to strength based on the quality of their product. Prices seem very reasonable and they offer a money back guarantee if you don't like sleeping under it.

If anyone hears of a NOTHS code would you be so kind as to let me know?

Argh stupid autocorrect has put a rogue :-\ in when I was tryibg to type in a *
I seem to have the only keyboard on this that has ready done :-) faces rather than proper smileys and they keep catching me out
Sorry!

Ds2 (3) has decided he wants Santa to bring him dungarees, preferably green ones
Anyone any ideas? Really don't want to spend much as I thought I was done but he's only just 'getting' Christmas so I want him to get what he asked for

verytiredmummy I am planning to personalise white mugs with our names & snowman faces. Have bought my mugs from Argos- £4 for 6 & they seem fine. I did through eBay & I think the price has actually now dropped to £3-odd!

The ones I saw I think they used sharpies to decorate, but I am planning to get porcelain pens from hobbycraft/ Amazon. You then bake in oven to make them food safe. They are approx £3.50 or £4 each, but I only need orange & black to do my snowmen faces! If you need more colours might be worth seeing if there's a set. Maybe baker Ross might have them too...
